Betting on Werder Bremen
To begin with, Werder Bremen is in 11th place in the Bundesliga with 27 points earned from eight wins, three draws, and 10 defeats this season. Although these 21 games leave things to be desired, they do not compromise the team, and if they win, they could overcome the tie on points with Leverkusen and catch up with Mainz and Mönchengladbach. In terms of scoring, they have scored 31 goals and conceded 41 on the season, ending up with a -10 goal difference.
However, they have struggled in their last five Bundesliga matches, winning two (2-1 vs Wolfsburg; 0-2 vs Stuttgart) but losing three (1-2 vs Union Berlin; 0-2 vs Borussia Dortmund; 2-0 vs Eintracht Frankfurt). This rate of missed matches can be dangerous and is something that needs to be corrected soon. The five goals scored this season must be complemented by an improvement in the defense.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Jiří Pavlenka; Niklas Stark, Miloš Veljković, Marco Friedl, Ilia Gruev; Niklas Schmidt, Romano Schmid; Jens Stage, Anthony Jung, Niclas Füllkrug; Marvin Ducksch.
Betting on Bochum
Bochum, on the other hand, currently qualify for the relegation play-offs as they are in 16th place with 19 points (tied on points with Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, untied on goal difference). In the 21 games played so far, this team has only six wins, one draw, and 14 losses. It is the team with the most defeats in the entire Bundesliga season. If they win, there is a chance to escape the threat of relegation and reach the 14th position.
However, their last few days in the Bundesliga have been far from satisfactory. In fact, they won one game (5-2 vs Hoffenheim), but lost four (2-0 vs Bayer Leverkusen; 5-2 vs Mainz; 3-0 vs Bayern Munich; 0-2 vs Freiburg), almost all by a landslide.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Manuel Riemann; Danilo Soares, Ivan Ordets, Saidy Janko, Keven Schlotterbeck; Anthony Losilla, Kevin Stöger, Simon Zoller, Philipp Hofmann; Takuma Asano, Christopher Antwi-Adjei.
JefeBet Prediction
The Werder Bremen vs Bochum match will not be easy at all for the visitors, as not only will there be a lot of anxiety about the possibility of relegation, but they have also not had good results that favor them. There will undoubtedly be goals, but they will not be in Bochum’s favor.
Prediction: Werder Bremen wins 2-1.
